Los San Fermines is a traditional festival held annually in the city of Pamplona, in the region of Navarra, Spain. The festival is named after Saint Fermin, the patron saint of Navarra, and takes place from July 6th to July 14th every year.
The festival is best known for the Running of the Bulls, which is the most popular event during the festival. It involves a group of bulls running through the streets of Pamplona, while participants, known as "mozos", run ahead of them. The runners try to make it to the bullring without getting injured by the bulls, which can be quite dangerous.
Apart from the Running of the Bulls, there are other traditional events during the festival, such as the Chupinazo, which marks the official start of the festival, and the Riau-Riau, a traditional procession where locals parade through the streets wearing traditional clothing and playing music.
Los San Fermines attracts thousands of tourists every year from all over the world who come to experience the festival's unique traditions and lively atmosphere. It is an important cultural event in Spain and is widely recognized as one of the most famous festivals in the world.
